A post from the prodigal

So, yes, I began this blog over a year ago. And my last post was...also over a year ago. Maybe, MAYBE, I'll get into why it's been so long since I've actively contributed to my own online record. But I will say that I am proud of myself today, at this very moment. Believe it or not, I somehow managed to hold a lot of fear behind the completion of this one tiny action, this one tiny posting. So much so that an entire year has gone by, and I hadn't lifted a digit on this site. I have some theories about why this is so, but I'll save it for another time.

But I am back now, and after four interesting and challenging productions, I think I may be ready to share a thought or two again.

I am calling this the "warm-up" post. Don't laugh. I know you all have weirdo fears unfounded in your own nonsensical heads. And for some reason, just writing a few words and mousing over 'submit' seems like a fantastic baby step.

But since the hiatus, I am grateful for every moment that has passed and the friends I have made on and off the stage. And I can't wait to share a word or two about walking along this creative path. Maybe a word or two of mine will lift another as I have been lifted time and time again.

Lots of love to all,

Joel
